Falling Together by Marisa de los Santos


Falling Together

I just finished Falling Together by Marisa de los Santos and absolutely loved it!  Really a good book - I fell in love with the college friendship between Pen, Cat, and Will and wondering if the friendships will be ever be repaired during their search for Cat.  I loved meeting Pen's daughter Augusta!  This would make a great book club book and I give it 5 stars!  Easy read - great storyline.  Just read some of the reviews on Goodreads - not everybody loved it as much as I did.  Oh well - not sure I liked the conclusion of the book but that's life!

Book Description from Goodreads:

What would you do if an old friend needed you, but it meant turning your new life upside down? Pen, Will, and Cat met during the first week of their first year of college and struck up a remarkable friendship, one that sustained them and shaped them for years – until it ended abruptly, and they went their separate ways. Now, six years later, Pen is the single mother of a five-year-old girl, living with her older brother in Philadelphia and trying to make peace with the sudden death of her father. Even though she feels deserted by Will and Cat, she has never stopped wanting them back in her life, so when she receives an email from a desperate-sounding Cat asking her to meet her at their upcoming college reunion, Pen goes. What happens there sends past and present colliding and sends Pen and her friends on a journey across the world, a journey that will change everything.(less)


Found by Harlan Corben

Product Details

I love reading anything by Harlan Corben and I am liking his YA series about Mickey Bolitar - Myron's nephew.  This is the third book in the series - Found.  My problem is having a hard time remembering where the series left off when I begin the new book - would rather read all of them in succession - but that will never happen because I will not be able to wait!  Love Myron Bolitar - wish Harlan would write another with him and Winn or Wyn - see he needs to revisit him because I can't remember how his best buddies name is spelled! Quick read -  I give this 4 stars - especially if I had a YA to give it too!


Book Description from Amazon:

From internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben comes this third action-packed installment of his bestselling young adult series.

It’s been eight months since Mickey Bolitar witnessed the shocking, tragic death of his father. Eight months of lies, dark secrets, and unanswered questions. While he desperately wants answers, Mickey’s sophomore year of high school brings on a whole new set of troubles. Spoon is in the hospital, Rachel won’t tell him where he stands, his basketball teammates hate him . . . and then there’s Ema’s surprise announcement: She has an online boyfriend, and he’s vanished.

As he’s searching for Ema’s missing boyfriend (who may not even exist!), Mickey also gets roped into helping his nemesis, Troy Taylor, with a big problem. All the while, Mickey and his friends are pulled deeper into the mysteries surrounding the Abeona Shelter, risking their lives to find the answers—until the shocking climax, where Mickey finally comes face-to-face with the truth about his father.
